Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 294 Human Tragedy

Ninety-six days after birth.

After a night of chaos, dawn finally broke.

For the 79th Group Army in the barracks, and for the survivors of Yancheng, this was a long nightmare that has now given way to a glimmer of hope.

The difference is that most people forget their nightmares, only to suddenly recall a detail at some point and shudder.

However, the 79th Army Group and the survivors of Yancheng could remember every detail of the nightmare after waking up from this real nightmare.

They remembered how, under the influence of the spiritual plague, they had ruthlessly killed the evolved beings who had once protected them.

They remembered being controlled by the mastermind behind it all, who cut off the heads of the evolved beings they knew, sawed open their skulls with a small saw, and then carefully placed them into nutrient solution.

They still remembered how their relatives and friends attacked the evolved humans like madmen, falling in pools of blood during the evolved humans' counterattack.

How they wished that all of this was just a nightmare, a dream that would vanish upon waking and have no connection to reality.

However, such expectations are met with harsh reality.

Everything that happened was real.

All of that happened a month ago.

"When something like this happens, it's definitely not an easy thing to accept."

Seeing the crowd who seemed to have lost the will to live, even the usually optimistic Yichen couldn't help but sigh.

Among the survivors who had regained consciousness, some wailed loudly, some had lifeless eyes, and some even wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by the soldiers.

However, even those soldiers had to use immense courage and conviction to avoid being controlled by those things.

During that disaster, the people of Yancheng killed the evolved humans they knew and watched their loved ones die tragically. Weren't these soldiers the same?

In fact, unlike the civilian evolvers who, after being besieged by ordinary people, mostly fought back and struggled for a long time.

The evolved beings in the military are facing ordinary soldiers equipped with firearms.

During that period, no matter how powerful an evolved being was, if they were ambushed by their own comrades with guns, they could only die on the spot.

And these ordinary soldiers who took up arms and killed their comrades would see their most trusted comrades lying in pools of blood, their faces showing bewildered expressions of betrayal.

This is an extreme form of mental torture for anyone.

"Letting that guy die so easily is too good for him!"

Looking at the grieving crowds throughout the city, Bai Jue gritted his teeth and said.

Although I knew that given the circumstances, there was no room for mercy, and that a mentally evolved being could not be controlled or tortured.

But the thought of the mastermind behind it all, who caused so many human tragedies, filled her with a burning hatred.

"Actually, this is all my fault as an old man."

At this moment, Commander Cheng came over to Cang Nian and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian and his group all turned their gazes toward Commander Cheng.

The mastermind behind that mental evolutionist, everything he said before was just a way to buy time.

Of those, no one knows exactly how much is true.

However, if we look at it from Commander Cheng's perspective, we should be able to know quite a bit of the truth.

"At the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, during that great earthquake, some of the young men in our military camp fell into a coma."

But when an earthquake occurs, as soldiers, we should help the people of China.

Therefore, after the communications collapsed, I led my troops to Yancheng, the nearest city to us, that very night.

Commander Cheng sat down on the ground and began to recall.

"This was an unprecedented earthquake for Yancheng. It even broke roads and caused landslides."

Therefore, we abandoned our equipment and marched on foot to Yancheng.

When we arrived, it was already the third day after the earthquake.

Without any tools, we used hammers and picks to break open the gap and then moved the passage by hand.

Through the combined efforts of our army, the surviving civilians, the rescued victims who were not seriously injured, and the evolved individuals who awoke with various superpowers, we created a miracle.

Of the more than three million people rescued, 1.2 million were saved. This is the willpower and action of the Chinese soldiers!

After some discussion, they moved to the military camp.

Although there were many buried foods and various daily necessities in the ruins.

However, the infrastructure is too poor, and a major epidemic is bound to follow a major disaster. If we continue to stay, the sanitary conditions will not allow it, and those who have been rescued with great difficulty will die or be injured again.

The facilities in the military camp were not damaged much by the earthquake, and there was also a huge amount of reserve food.

Although they are all hybrid high-yield rice varieties, they don't taste good, but they are filling.

Millions of people migrated for several days before finally arriving at the military camp.

Later, we tried to contact the capital city by communication, but to no avail.

They tried to clear a path, but the terrain was too varied to proceed.

Along the way, there were also evolved creatures that lurked around. Although there were guns and ammunition, they did not pose any threat, but they slowed down the progress.

But ultimately, in the early stages of the spiritual revival, firearms still held considerable dominance, allowing us to explore nearly a thousand kilometers.

Unfortunately, the road ahead was cut off, and the earthquake caused huge changes in the terrain.

Originally, following the border line should have led to Fengtian Prefecture, but at the end of the line was a strait more than ten kilometers wide.

This strait stretches northwest for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

So we gave up exploring and gave up seeking help from outside.

For the people of the Dragon Kingdom in the snowy mountains of Northeast China, we are now their support and the ones they turn to for help.

Later, we split up to explore the surrounding areas and search for cities where there were still survivors.

However, the population of the snowy mountains in Northeast China is sparse. Apart from a few large cities, the population of other cities is less than one million. After the earthquake, the number of survivors was even smaller.

If they can hold on to their original location even if they are invaded by evolved creatures, it would be a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Over the course of more than a month, we explored most of the area within a radius of 300 kilometers and rescued hundreds of thousands of people.

But the larger the population, the more difficult it is to manage.

Overall, the new city is thriving, but in its corners, injustices always occur.

I knew those things were happening, but I didn't pay attention to them, thinking they were just normal phenomena.

Even in the most peaceful times, bullying and mistreatment between people can never be completely eradicated.

The mental evolutionist who controlled us was one of them.

It was precisely my indifference that made him the fuse that ignited this tragedy.

A resentful, spiritually-oriented evolved individual, along with a small group of evolved individuals attempting to seize power, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Commander Cheng recalled the various events that had occurred since the revival of spiritual energy.

In the end, he couldn't help but raise his rough hands and tilt his head back to cover his face.
